Redevelopment Area #2 Plan Update **

The Office of Business Development has initiated a process to solicit feedback from property owners and businesses regarding the current Redevelopment Area #2 Plan to see if any changes to the strategies and objectives identified in the Plan should be amended or added. Redevelopment Area #2 generally includes the commercial corridor along South Carson Street from around Colorado Street to the Douglas County border to the south. The Redevelopment District Map showing Area #2 and the Area #2 Plan can be downloaded from the links above for more detail. The letter to Area #2 property owners can also be downloaded for more information regarding the proposed Plan update.

The Redevelopment Authority Citizens Committee conducted meetings in August and September 2012 to solicit public input regarding proposed amendments to the Plan. Proposed amendments are scheduled to be forwarded to the Redevelopment Authority/Board of Supervisors at their regularly-scheduled meeting on December 6, 2012. The Redevelopment Area #2 Plan with proposed amendments can be downloaded at the appropriate link near the top of this page. Comments may be submitted in writing to the Office of Business Development at the address above, or by sending them to Lee Plemel at lplemel@carson.org.

Economic Development

Carson City has planned, thoughtfully, to maintain and engage commercial activity with a pro-business, consolidated city/county government, an attractive tax structure, including no personal income tax, and a streamlined building process. These benefits combined with downtown redevelopment, a new freeway under construction, prime commercial parcels and an accredited community college make Carson City the right place to do business.

Redevelopment

Redevelopment is a process authorized under Nevada law that enables concerned communities to establish redevelopment agencies that can identify deteriorated and blighted areas in need of revitalization. Redevelopment agencies develop a plan and provide the initial funding to launch revitalization of those areas. In doing so, redevelopment encourages and attracts private sector investment that otherwise wouldn't occur.
